When I was looking for a venue in the Burnley area a couple of years ago, somebody suggested looking at the Bankhall Miners. So I thought, fantastic idea. So I went to check it out.........
Couldn't find the bloody place........ walked up and down........ the gate was locked....some football club sign on it........
Finally worked out where it should have been........ Just the shape of the foundations on the floor. That was it, gone. Flattened, God only knows when.
Shame.
Finished up at The Cricket Club for a while, another venue that I used to attend when in my youth, early 70's. At the moment I'm running an allnighter at the Falcon, in the Kestrel Suite, another venue that has had northern soul events through the years. If you want to relive the halcyon days of the B.H.M. you should get down tomorrow night. Many of the old faces will be in attendance, Cliff Camfield & Fred Krol will be DJ'ing, Stu Bennett, Barry Wadd, Brad, Steve Green, Andy Hutchins, Rod Shard and many more.
Phil.
